he Prisoners for Palestine protest group confirmed the climate activist had been arrested at a demonstration in support of the Palestine Action members on hunger strike in prison.
In a video shared by the group, Thunberg, 22, can be seen holding a sign reading “I support the Palestine Action prisoners. I oppose genocide” at a demonstration outside the central London offices of Aspen Insurance.
Images of the arrest show Thunberg seated on the ground at the protest holding a sign that reads, “I support Palestine Action prisoners” and “I oppose genocide.”
